    Summary

    ‘But, ah, it all just comes down to one thing, doesn’t it? You, on the verge of leaving. Leaving somewhere, anywhere. And you cannot. That’s a simple fact: this mustn’t be a circle, I refuse … we … I wasn’t even aware we were a possibility still. So, goddamn it, Newton, I am not letting you go. You’re going to stay here. And if, if you must go, because of some goddamned ticket or some such, I’ll go with you. Schedule compatibility be damned.’

    [Written for the prompt 'Just this once' – Newt and Hermann return to Stockholm after the drift, and try to tie the loose ends.]

    Summary

    Steve turns, wiping his hands on the ragged dish towel he holds, and Bucky can’t even smile—

    Because here’s a truth: when Bucky was strapped to that table in Italy, and when Bucky was crouched in muddy trenches while bullets whistled overhead, and when Bucky was dying in a hospital bed, thrashing with a fever, he resolved to tell Steve if he made it out alive, because he couldn’t bear the idea of leaving this earth behind without Steve ever having known that Bucky loves him.

    ***

    After the war, Bucky comes home.

    Summary

    “You should be careful of that one,” Mr. Hendrickson says, with a nod to Bucky outside the window. “It ain’t right. Looking at you all the time as he does. The way he should be looking at girls.”

     

     

    Steve laughs, because damn, but what a ridiculous idea.

     

    Or, five times Steve caught Bucky looking at him, and the one time he looked first.
